1. Attraction to Moisture and Food Residues

Cockroaches enter kitchens in search of water and food. A slow pipe leak under the sink or food crumbs left on countertops create a perfect environment for them to feed and breed.

2. The Threat of German Cockroaches

German cockroaches are small, fast, and multiply rapidly. They hide inside cabinet hinges, electrical sockets, and kitchen appliances. Eradicating them requires professional gel baits that destroy the colony.

3. Sealing Gaps Around Pipes

Pests often travel between apartments through wall cracks and plumbing entries. Sealing gaps around drain pipes under the sink with silicone blocks their entry route.

4. Daily Trash Disposal and Dish Washing

Leaving dirty dishes overnight or keeping open trash bins invites pests. Empty garbage bins daily and wipe down surfaces with mild sanitizers to remove food traces.
